[Intro] I meant it Every word [Verse 1] I don’t say things just to fill the air I don’t talk around the truth If I let it leave my mouth It’s because I chose to I don’t rehearse my feelings I don’t soften every line If I’m standing in the moment I’m standing on what’s mine [Chorus] When I say it I mean it I don’t say it twice I don’t lean in I don’t reach Just to see if you’ll decide I’ve been quiet with my power I’ve been honest with my time When I say it I mean it Every time [Verse 2] You keep listening for cracks Like I’m about to change But I’ve already settled in On the words I say I don’t need you to believe me I don’t need a sign I just need you to understand I don’t speak unless it’s mine [Chorus] When I say it I mean it I don’t say it twice I don’t lean in I don’t reach Just to see if you’ll decide I’ve been quiet with my power I’ve been honest with my time When I say it I mean it Every time [Bridge] I don’t raise my voice To make it real I don’t add weight To what I feel I let the truth Stand on its own If I said it I already know [Final Chorus] When I say it I mean it Hear the way it lands I’m not asking I’m not hoping I’m already where I stand I don’t say it for the echo I don’t say it for the sign When I say it I mean it Every time [Outro] I said it once That was enough
